What you seem to not know are the plain facts of your president's spending habits.
The rightists haven't changed over the years, they still lie and make up facts.
They just don't get the idea that their lies are so easy to uncover these days.
The only way someone could ever accept the lies is to be willfully blind to the truth.I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.
I fight them because they are fascists.
Chris Hedges

We could all use better information to overcome the propaganda being force fed to us from ALL sides. So when you get the urge to repost the latest sound bite (made for corporate news profit margins) please do us all a favor and do some digging of your own, be (what used to be) a reporter. Go find original sources, find information from more than one angle if possible. Consider that all situations may be falsified, planted or taken out of context.

We may have far more in common if we talk about factual information than sound bites and fear factors.

FWIW even i made a bammaphone ringtone, cause it was funny. She was a star indeed, of the 100th Magnitude. There are many stars in the sky.

I would like to know why our mainstream news media, as in George Orwell's 1984, makes sure that any person legitimately running for President of the United States or other high federal office, but not affiliated with either of the two major political parties, does not get coverage???

The mainstream media, which, by the way, are owned by ultra-large corporations with their own agenda, have turned all people not willing to be part of Guy's "Monkey Team" into non-persons.

What has happened to our country when a legitimate candidate for President of the United States goes to one of the "Presidential Debates", requests the right to participate, AND IS ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING???!!!

I was not for that particular candidate, but I do, like all U.S. Citizens should, believe in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, to name a few. All the men I knew when I was a child, most of whom had fought in the second World War to keep our freedom, were proud to say:

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it!"

I might add that I have been at many newsworthy events, many of national impact. I have met both presidential candidates and presidents, and I even played Hail to the Chief in my university band when President Nixon came to speak to my city (that was a blast!). The U.S. news media comes to these, take hours of footage on multiple cameras, then go back to their studios and edit all this down to just 5 to 15 seconds of video that shows exactly the image -they- want.

When I go home and watch their news coverage of the event, I always end up asking out loud, "Where were they??..because that is -not- where I was!!!

Perhaps it's time for all of us to say, "Enough is enough! Give us backour country!!!!!"
